We appear to be a lot more organised than in recent times. Given that fact I would expect a list of targets already in place and only the negotiating left to be done.

Very true!

So will our group be made up of teams in that section from Rapid to Kobenhavn? Or is it just ordered randomly?

[the gunslinger 3,366]

There will be a draw for the groups.

[JFK-1 1,693]

There will be a total of 48 teams in 4 pots for the group draw. The draw will separate the 48 out into 12 groups of 4. The pots are ordered by co-efficiency.  Arsenal ,Chelsea, Leverkusen etc will be in pot 1 and be put in a group alongside 1 team from each of the other 3 pots.

 

We might be in pot 4 or 3 at best.

We have to qualify first but here is..............

 

Once the 4th qualifying round (or play-off round) has been completed, the 48 remaining clubs are drawn into twelve groups of four clubs each. Clubs from the same association will not be drawn into the same group.

 

Below it is assumed that lowest seeded teams of the 4th qualifying round of the Champions League qualify for the group stage of the Europa League, and that the highest seeded teams of the 4th EL-qualifying round also qualify.

Seeing vids on social media about bit of botherbwith local Police before game.

[Ser Barristan Selmy 222]

I’ve been trying to post tonight on a dodgy connection so apologies if repeating myself.

 

i was absolutely elated after we beat Maribor in the first round.

 

However, these are the facts as I see them. We beat a really poor side over these legs. Vastly superior to why we played in previous rounds, but a shit team.

 

Even if they finished 6th and struggled to beat progres, I think a sterner test awaits us. 

 

I thought gubbing maribor was a big thing, but on tonight I don’t think it was

[Unicorn 206]

Proud of my team.  Looking forward to next game with no lingering feeling of impending doom.  Not felt like that since 2011.

Yep, it's all the sheep forum wants to talk about. No mention of the game or our performance. Just fighting with police and wishes that we would get kicked out. Their irrelevance is driving them crazy.

 

Even the hubz lot who have just had a bitter blow are coming around to recognising on their forum that we're a force to be reckoned with, better than them, and potential champions.

 

But not the sheep.
